Predictive design of impact absorbers for mitigating resonances of flexible structures using a semi-analytical approach
Timo Theurich, Alexander F. Vakakis, Malte Krack
Analytical conditions are available for the optimum design of impact absorbers for the case where the host structure is well described as rigid body. Accordingly, the analysis reli…
Generalization of the Concept of Bandwidth
Alireza Mojahed, Lawrence A. Bergman, Alexander F. Vakakis
In the sciences and engineering, the concept of bandwidth is often subject to interpretation depending upon context and the requirements of a specific community. The focus of this…
Exceeding the Classical Time-bandwidth Product in Nonlinear Time-invariant Systems
Alireza Mojahed, Kosmas L. Tsakmakidis, Lawrence A. Bergman +1
The classical 'time-bandwidth' limit for linear time-invariant (LTI) devices asserts that it is impossible to store broadband waves (large Δω's) for long times (large Δt's). For st…
Topological Protection in a Strongly Nonlinear Interface Lattice
Joshua R. Tempelman, Kathryn H. Matlack, Alexander F. Vakakis
Mechanical topological insulators are well understood for linear and weakly nonlinear systems, however traditional analysis methods break down for strongly nonlinear systems since…
